Note: This release is in preview. Features described here don’t become generally available until the latest general availability date that Salesforce announces for this release. Before then, and where features are noted as beta, pilot, or developer preview, we can’t guarantee general availability within any particular time frame or at all. Make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features.

IndividualShare

Represents a list of access levels to a data privacy record along with an explanation of the access level. For example, if you have access to a record because you own it, the IndividualAccessLevel is All and RowCause is Owner. This object is available in API version 42.0 and later.

You can only create, edit, and delete sharing entries for standard objects whose RowCause field is set to Manual. Sharing entries for standard objects with different RowCause values are created as a result of your Salesforce org’s sharing configuration and are read-only. For some sharing mechanisms, such as sharing sets, sharing entries aren’t stored at all.

While Salesforce currently maintains read-only sharing entries for multiple sharing mechanisms, it’s possible that we’ll stop storing certain share records to improve performance. As a best practice, don’t create customizations that rely on the availability of these sharing entries. Any changes to sharing behavior will be communicated before they occur.
